  • Big old dredge! I'm in the market for a new waterproof jacket. Doesn't need to be cycling specific and is more for every day use. I've had a Patagonia Torrentshell for a few months and I really don't like it, it's not that waterproof and it feels like a shower curtain sticking to you when it gets wet. Requirements are: plain black, needs a hood and is as waterproof as possible. Not looking to spend silly money but could spend extra on a jacket that'll last me for a really long time!

  • Isn't secondhand a bit suspect for membrane waterproofs? They don't seem to have a very long service life via delamination or the breakdown of the hydrophobic layer.

    Do you reproof everything you get? Or just try and scoop stuff that seems barely used?
